There are various social issues in the world in each region.
As the Komatsu Group develops its business globally, we listen to the voices of people living in the various local communities in our areas of operation, and actively carry out support activities to improve the living standards. We consider conducting such social contribution activities as a responsibility of doing business around the world.
This spring, Peoria Manufacturing Operation (PMO), Komatsu America Corp. welcomed students from local schools for an engaging and educational experience. In April, 70 seventh-grade students from Lincoln Elementary School visited PMO, followed by 30 sophomores from Metamora High School in May. During their visits, students attended presentations that highlighted the role of mining and the diverse career opportunities within the industry. They also toured the factory and enjoyed a memorable photo opportunity in front of the massive 980E monument truck. Feedback from the students was overwhelmingly positive, with comments such as “It was fun and educational” and “I can see career possibilities in my community.”
American Battery Solutions, Inc. (ABS) participated in the “Blankets With Care” program as part of its community support efforts. This initiative delivers handmade blankets to local residents in need of daily living support. The company covered the cost of materials, and employees from each department collaborated to create the blankets. Each team planned, coordinated, and brought creativity to the project, making the experience both meaningful and enjoyable. The program not only provided physical warmth, but also conveyed compassion and a sense of comfort to those who received the blankets.
In 2025, Komatsu Pakistan Soft (Pvt.) Ltd. (KPS) provided essential mobility aids—including wheelchairs and stretchers—to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS). These contributions aim to enhance patient comfort, dignity, and care, while supporting the vital role that local healthcare facilities play in the community.
Additionally, KPS donated blood testing kits and blood bags to the Sundas Foundation. These items are crucial to ensuring that donated blood is safely and appropriately used for transfusions.
Through its support for medical and diagnostic services, KPS continues to contribute to life-saving efforts in the region.
